15 ★ Gossip

The Star-Crossed Hearts
"Riah, do you know if Myungsoo has another number?"
 
I just read the text message from Sunggyu and I frown. He works in the same office with Myungsoo and he actually asks me for it?
 
I look through my contact and find Myungsoo's phone number. He does have two phones even though I don't really know the reason. I forward his alternative number to Sunggyu and put the phone back on table.
 
A week have passed since the last time I saw Myungsoo and we didn't actually talk lately. Some random tweets but that's that. No more chatting or else.
 
Strange that I still haven't moved on from my feeling for him. No matter how many times I give opinion to Haemin to forget about her ex-boyfriend, I actually can't do the same.
 
My heart still beats for Myungsoo despite the fact that I know we're nothing more than friends. It's so pathetic. Seriously.
 
It's like wishing for a star that you can't reach. To put it simple, it's impossible for him to return my feeling. Why do I still bother to have a crush on him?
 
I take my glass and drink the water as I read the new text message from Sunggyu, his reply for my previous message.
 
"Thank you! Of course his wife knows all the way to contact him!"
 
I swear I almost burst out the water when I read it. Heat creeps to my cheeks and it's a good thing that I'm all alone in my room right now.
 
"Haha. Very funny, Gyu."
 
I reply it short and throw my phone in my bag, ignoring whatever reply Sunggyu will give to me. I grab my jacket and head out from my room after making sure that I don't forget anything behind.
 
What kind of joke is Sunggyu trying to play?!
 
"Ah, Riah, where is Myungsoo?" the question comes from Woohyun and I give him a disbelief look for the first question he gave to me once I arrived at Yoojoon's place.
 
Today I have promised Jieul to visit Yoojoon's place. Haemin, Woohyun, and Sungyeol also came. The boys play football game while us, the girls, update everything about our current life.
 
When Yoojoon is preparing the game, Woohyun asks me the question out of the blue. I clear my throat and answer as calm as possible, "Why do you ask me? Do you think I'm his mother?"
 
Honestly speaking I know why he doesn't come. Yoojoon and Jieul have invited him and the other through Twitter but he said that he has family meeting until night so he can't come.
 
I just don't understand why Woohyun has the idea to think that I know where or what Myungsoo is doing.
 
"Of course you know," Woohyun giggles and he exchanges looks with Sungyeol who has a big grin on his face. "What don't you know about Myungsoo?"
 
My heart skips a beat and random thought crosses my mind in a flash. I clench my fists secretly and retort, "Very funny. Don't start random gossip, Woohyun."
 
They just laugh and I hold back my urge to ask why he even said that. It will make me suspicious and I have tried my best to act as normal as possible so I can't risk myself now.
 
Now that I think of it, is it possible that Myungsoo drew distance from me because of this silly gossip?
 
If Sunggyu is the one who spread this gossip, I'll make sure he will get my revenge soon. I don't like the idea of being strangers with someone I know good enough just because of stupid gossip...
 
...but it can't be that, right? Myungsoo is not the kind of person who will choose to be strangers just because of unclear gossip, isn't he?
 
The more I think about it now, the more I become more uncertain.
 
As if it's not enough to make me more curious, after I return to home from Yoojoon's place, Sungjong's tweet makes me feel more frustrated.
 
I was listening to the accoustic version of a song so I tweet about how much I love to hear melodies from guitar.
 
"Guitar. Indeed my favorite. ^^"
 
For my surprise Sungjong teases me because of the tweet. Thankfully, or maybe not, he doesn't mention Myungsoo in his tweet.
 
"It's so Myungsoo! kekeke~ RT @_suRIAH_: Guitar. Indeed my favorite. ^^"
 
I have no intention to reply it anymore. In fact I'm getting more curious now.
 
Who started this gossip?!

Chapter 40: This story broke my heart a thousand times. It's because this is similar to mine.., falling in love with someone unconditionally, hurting yourself over and over again yet you find no reason not to love him and even if you've convinced yourself you've move on but the moment you saw that person, all those feelings and memories came rushing back...
I just want to ask question though,,is it your own experience too?
I won't force you to answer if you're uncomfortable.
Anyways,,thanks for writing this story..<3

Chapter 40: It's really heart-wrenching.
I will never be able to do that. Walking in, smiling while seeing him and her together.
The reason you cried for is so pure and kind.
But I guess maybe that's what they call true love, something I haven't experienced before though I've been hurt by a one-sided love before too.
I respect you, and I hope you know that.
One day, you'll meet your destined star too.
And I truly believe he will hold you dearest to him, till infinity and beyond.(':
Just like what I've said before, I really love this story. Because it's true, sincere and lovely.
Simple but yet beautiful. Thank you for sharing.<3
Hope today is a good day for you...(:
